In #64, we introduce the permission model for publishing. The idea is as follows (at the publication level):

Upon creating an output, the author chooses whether they provide consent to publish
This consent can be withdrawn, which is effectively a publication veto
The authors trusted co-authors will then be evaluated, to see whether they consent to publish
The trusted co-authors consent to publish is evaluated to provide the author consent (for example, if any of the trusted co-authors consents, the author consents – which is the generous trust model)

1 + 2 are effectively present, whereas the scaffolding for 3+4 is present (trusted_authors table). This issue tracks the further implementation of the authorship trust model.
